First Measurement of Differential Charged Current Quasielasticlike νμ-Argon Scattering Cross Sections with the MicroBooNE Detector MicroBooNE Collaboration Abratenko, P. García Gámez, Diego We report on the first measurement of flux-integrated single differential cross sections for chargedcurrent (CC) muon neutrino (νμ) scattering on argon with a muon and a proton in the final state, 40Ar ðνμ; μpÞX. The measurement was carried out using the Booster Neutrino Beam at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and the MicroBooNE liquid argon time projection chamber detector with an exposure of 4.59 × 1019 protons on target. Events are selected to enhance the contribution of CC quasielastic (CCQE) interactions. The data are reported in terms of a total cross section as well as single differential cross sections in final state muon and proton kinematics.We measure the integrated per-nucleus CCQE-like cross section (i.e., for interactions leading to a muon, one proton, and no pions above detection threshold) of ð4.93 0.76stat 1.29sysÞ × 10−38 cm2, in good agreement with theoretical calculations. The single differential cross sections are also in overall good agreement with theoretical predictions, except at very forward muon scattering angles that correspond to low-momentum-transfer events. 2020-12-22T10:33:36Z 2020-12-22T10:33:36Z 2020-11-13 journal article Abratenko, P., Alrashed, M., An, R., Anthony, J., Asaadi, J., Ashkenazi, A., ... & Bathe-Peters, L.
